it depends on where you take it to get graded I think pgcs charges 50 for variety information. not sure about the others.
it could increase or decrease the value of the coin. once its been professionally graded there is no it might be MS66 or MS65. there is only one grade on it and that give you a good accurate price tag for the coin.
I dont know how to grade quarters but it looks MS to me.
I would tell you if its worth more then sending it in grading it then selling it while still holding a profit that you can live with then go for it.
If you dont want to sell it I would send it in to preserve it.

If I were you, I'd slab it. It's a nice,dramatic variety that is quite expensive. It would be a good idea to grade it especially for resale. Slabbing it will more than likely boost the price.

What is slaving, I currently have it in a clear case.

Slabbing is just another way of saying getting it graded. The graders put the coin in a plastic case, called a slab, and place a label with the grade in the case.

Is there a listing already on this DDR ? FS, coneca etc. If so, then do a search for any values or ones that have been sold first before getting a cert. on it. Check the top 3 TPG's for any population reports on this coin. Then go from there. Also try to get a fairly accurate grade on it yourself or with others help before so. If it's a very rare DDR then the grade would not be as important as if it was a common DDR. If common it would most likely have to be MS min. to bring a decent premium. |

SF is Satin Finish
CONECA POP of 1 means that they have only seen 1. It has nothing to do with how many there really are out there.

I just looked over at NGC. Total:2009 D DDR VP-001 (VP-001 is NGC's number for your coin) Total coins graded so far: 113 Lowest Grade MS64 Average Grade MS66 Highest Grade MS68 Who knows how many have not been sent in or discovered yet.Could be thousands of coins. I dont know how many PCGS has graded either. |

I might question those numbers Joey- people familiar with this very rare die will tell you that it's well accepted that this variety has a known population of 15-17 coins. One was recently offered on ebay in ANACS MS-64 for $5,000. Seller realized he may not get a buyer but wanted to "test the waters". I think it's safe to say that in MS-63/64 this coin has a realistic value of $2,000 to $3,000. Regardless of the grade I'd highly reccommend getting the coin professionally attributed and graded through one of the major services. ANACS will slab it with the appropriate CONECA Die # for around $15. Fantastic coin, thanks for sharing. |

I would get it graded as well. Both ICG or ANACAS are the people to go to. PCGS and NGC are just to high for doing variety coins, which yours is. If you have a major coin show coming up, that is the place to take it too. This way, one of the third party grading companies can take a look at it, give you an approximate grade and price for encapsulation and leave you with a more clear idea of what is going on.
I send most of my coins to ICG because I am pleased with their work and know Randy Campbell (head grader for ICG) personally. Not only is he knowledgeable when it comes to grading coins, but he will tell you if it is worth having encapsulated, something that the other companies will not do.

Thanks everyone for the information. I do believe I will try to catch the next coin show that comes in town. Would anyone know where I could find a schedule for the coin shows in my area? Fort Worth TX.
